The initial contact is a screening with a recruiter, then they send you two "IQ tests". The first is a 15 minute 12-question test that's similar to the SAT. The second is a 90 minute 25-question test. Part of the test is like the SAT and therefore redundant. The rest of the second test are poorly written questions that should not be used for anything. The test literally does not ask about anything that you would need to do for ANY job. Before I took it, I spent about an hour laughing at other reviews saying how ridiculously terrible it was. Well, they were right and it's still hilarious. The second test is not an actual IQ test because many of the questions have no correlation and they have no question anchor. For example: "You visit a land where people fall into two categories of liars: either they lie on M,W,F or they lie on T,Th,Sat. They tell the truth on other days. You meet two inhabitants, one of each type. They make the following statements: A says Yesterday I told the truth. B says Yesterday was Monday. Question: What day of the week is it now?" ............That question has no anchor. There's literally not enough information to answer the question. All you know is someone is lying. Half of the test is like that. This technology company is making hiring decisions based on a poorly written SAT test that doesn't at all relate to the work that's being done. If you know IQ tests require answerable questions and that these tests are completely unrelated to hiring competent employees, then I'd say don't bother. But if you want a good laugh, then apply and if you happen to get an offer negotiate it 30%+ higher just for wasting your time on a dumb test.

1. Phone screen 2. Two ridiculously hard, discouraging, waste of time IQ exams, for which even PHDs or math majors may do poorly (as lengthy word problems often did not even make sense), and did not apply at all to the position for which I was interviewing. Awful experience. And did not receive an offer. Quite possibly a job NO ONE is qualified for per those absurd exams.
